Listen, you just keep touting the same numbers over and over. It's one set of statistics, and it's incomplete. Please look at the humane website I posted and it will give you a better understanding of why breed attack statistics are not a complete picture at all.

Dog breed is only one factor, and a small one at that, in dog attacks. I know this because I'm very much interested in dogs, pack mentality and control.

I'm well educated about why dogs behave the way they do. There's specific "drives" in every dog, regardless of breed. Any breed, for instance, will have a prey drive. Some larger than others but they all have it. You see this in poodle chasing a tennis ball. A Rottweiler chasing a screaming child is the exact same drive, but with a much different result obviously. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're not as well educated in this matter, and it shows.

If you want to have a serious discussion about this and are prepared to do a little reading, let me know. If you want to keep spouting off the CDC statistics without really understanding what you're talking about, then I guess we're through.
